yea it was precut, i got it for 20 bucks, and then i thought to take the silver rings off the stock bezel and attach it to the new one, i like the way it looks. it almost looks manufactured.
whole thing took 30 mins max with dry time for the spray adhesive

Mmmm, 3M Super 77 is the greatest thing to come in a can evAr! My car doesn't have the silver bezels, I got ripped off. Does the CF make your speedo move faster?

i was going to use a dremel, then i thought it wouldnt be exact enough so i went to a place to cut it n they charged me 20 bucks for the machine to do it. all they had to do was program the design my formulas in the computer.
